Drawers

Started the NK style drawers. Here's the drawer bottom glue-up with steel sheet, and fitting the drawer fronts into the carcase. Steel bottom because it can take a beating from cutlery, and because I wouldn't want to start using plywood. Yes...a spline running through that partition dovetail...somehow I only put glue on the bottom dovetail, not the top one during assembly, must have been one of those quick & easy glue-ups done when already late for picking my son up from school...had to stabilise the joint somehow. "Mr. Greenley was
never perturbed about a mistake; he simply set about finding the most efficient
fix. He understood intuitively that surges of negative emotion not only
interfere with problem-solving; they also get built into the object you’re
working on." (From Mr Cheek's thoughts on boat building).

About Me

I started spending time in my garage a few years ago. Things started getting interesting. I like designing things. I like building these things. In an environmentally responsible way, of course, sustainable materials and construction that will last generations.
